At last have achieved our 2001 New Year's resolution of completing an average of at least one walk per month worth recording on the website - only 11 years after we set this as a target! In fact there are 13 walks listed for 2012 ( at the moment one is hosted on the National Trust Great British Walks site. Our first four walks of 2013 is also now online: Silverdale to Arnside along the Lancashire & Cumbria coast, Blackness to North Queensferry on the Forth estuary (yes - I do realise that it's not in Northern England), Lower Foulridge Reservoir from Barrowford and Ball Grove to Wycoller.
